Say What?

....I learned one in the last few months...."Mud Crickets".....these are young ladies that pretend to be redneck so they can "hook up" with the real redneck fellers and their big old trucks, Jeeps, etc.....Skoal ring on the back pocket optional.....but they have to like chaw or dip and not mind that the spit jug's in the cup holder.....

She looks like she could use a bath GNT, you know?

Tried to like this more than once...

Man why wasn't this a thing 30 years ago...

Where do the redneck's live mostly, in Texas, Alabama, or Arkansas? I've got relatives in Arkansas of Swedish descent and they have sent me pictures etc and one of the ladies came out here and her boyfriend visited about seven years ago and she had a real American accent. My father started talking politics with her. Most of the honest working class Americans from the South are 'salt of the earth' people. They seemed alright. The average American no matter what ethnicity are good people trying to just have a good life.

I think we have more per capita...

It's hard to think of any particular expression we use up here (apart from Canadians apparently always saying "Sorry")

Canadians love to say 'sorry' so much, we had to make this law

Well if that particular "Mud Cricket" is the one administering this help...

Just saying. She bears a slight resemblance to a dirty young Jaime Lee Curtis...

Did no one from Texas mention "fixin'"? Meaning planning, preparing.

"I'm fixin' to dig a new hole and move the outhouse."

Speaking of outhouses, I always thought it odd that corncobs could be used as both a pipe and a rear end cleaner.

Wow been holding on to that one since early childhood.

Egalitarian orifices.

OK I consider myself fairly well read, especially for a man with a "southern" drawl, but I must admit that I had to Google "egalitarian".

Yep that works.

Sometimes I throw out vocabulary thinking, "Is that right?"

Glad to know that the dart hit the mark now and then!

Sounds much better than "equal opportunity holes".

Not just a Texas thing. I grew up saying it, too. I eventually broke myself of saying it after catching some flak from people about it. I still use ironically it on occasion.

I'd forgotten that was a thing lol. It just seems natural to drop those hard g's in words ending with ing. It isn't just a country song thing

The habit of dropping syllables in words with more than two syllables still confuses me some. Mavericks becomes Mav'ricks. Two syllables are dropped in the word veterinarian. It's pronounced vet'narian. It's no wonder my spelling is the pits lol.
